Lionsgate Co-Chairman Talks Franchises (Including Twilight!)
Patrick Wachsberger, former Summit co-chairman and current Lionsgate co-chairman, had an interview with ScreenDaily. In the interview, he talked about franchises and highlights from the companies he worked with. Naturally, Twilight got a mention.
Few franchises have proven more transformative in the independent business than Twilight, which has grossed more than $3bn worldwide at the box office alone. “Twilight was a game changer for everyone involved,” he admits.
Of course, this would be the best part (for us, anyway).
Could we see another episode in the Robert Pattinson-Kristen Stewart behemoth? “It’s a possibility,” he says. “Not a certainty but it’s a possibility. It’s about Stephenie [novelist Stephenie Meyer]. If she wants to tell a story related to those characters we’re here for her.”
IF.
Time will tell.
Read the full interview here. It's quite interesting.
